oil pan removal, help please Options

[hjesse11]

I believe i am leaking pil either from the pan or pan gasket. Looks easy enough in the book at my work (advance auto) but those pics are black and white. It says to remove part of the exhaust and then itll come right off. Any one have any pics on this job? 94 gt 2.2. Thanks everyone. If no one has pics, ill take some along the way to help out anyone down the line but whatever advice would be appreciated.

Also your going to have to lower the front exhaust pipe down a little bit and lower the center crandle frame too. Personal it not easy project if you not done them alot. The Bell housing (PLate stiffener) has 6 bolts and Smaay is correct it has to come off.

I would not use the gasket I would try to return the aftermarket gasket as it junk if you have not open it.go to your local toyota deal and buy some Fipg as Smaay suggest. I am a toyota tech and those gasket don't last very long and they start leaking again.

Taking off the center cradle frame wont drop the tranny or engine right?, the down pipe is easy, i had that outta the way. And the bell housing plate will come off without anything fallin outta the tranny right? Figure i may as well ask before i find out for my self haha. Thanks, appreciate the help.
